Domaine Guy Allion, Touraine Sauvignon Le Haut Perron Thesee - 5 Litre

This Sauvignon de Touraine 'A', is a long-standing favourite of ours and represents great value. Lifted aromas of elderflower cordial, Victoria plums and hints of grass entice on the nose, whilst the palate is filled with gooseberry fool infused with elderflower and hints of summer fruit.

This crisp, grassy Sauvignon Blanc comes from the Touraine region of the central Loire Valley just to the east of Tours and is made by Guy Allion, one of the leading lights of the Haut Perron area. The estate is managed according to the organic 'Terra Vitis' programme, a codified system which encourages not only respect for the environment but knowledge of the land, parcel by parcel. Therefore only natural rather than chemical solutions are pursued in the vineyard.

This would be great with grilled perch with fennel, feta pizza or herbed tarragon chicken.
